QuadToneRIP has to run on OS X 10.2.x  and you have to print from a OS X
native program.  So if you want to print directly from PS it has to be PS7.
However you can save the file and print from a program called Preview or
actually just drag the file (a .tif, .jgp or .psd -- not sure about layers)
onto the PrintCenter.  What you lose is fancy positioning because that's in PS.
